"Do you think an emperor like me is qualified?"
I looked at Alleria's blurry face curiously. Suddenly, I wanted to know how the Empire Commander, who still maintained the mindset of a hundred percent veteran apostle, thought of me as a unique monarch.
"As a subordinate, you can't make such an evaluation of a monarch," Alleria said without hesitation. Her words were not out of my expectations. "Questioning a monarch's behavior and qualifications to command is the biggest taboo. This will seriously weaken the cohesion of the Empire and leave hidden dangers."
"Don't be so formal. You have to get used to the atmosphere of the new Empire." I smiled and leaned against the railing of the balcony, combing Alaya's feathers. "From a bystander's perspective, what do you think of me as an emperor? You know what I've been doing for the past few years. "
Alleria thought about it seriously this time before replying seriously, "Based on the habits of the Shiring Apostles, many of the decisions you've made have deviated from the old system of the Empire, sometimes even completely. However, based on the results and current situation, almost all of the decisions you've made have been proven to be effective and have produced great benefits. You rule the Empire with the unique way of thinking of the Void Creatures and have a huge impact on all the Shiring Apostles. I can't judge whether these changes are good or bad, but the influence of the Void Creatures is definitely unavoidable. I can only be optimistic about the changes you've brought to us based on the current situation of the Empire. "
I shrugged and smiled. "You're still so formal. I really miss the days when you were a kite. You were much more interesting then. I know what you mean. Actually, no matter what, the emperor has already been decided. Since there's no way to change it, then we should be optimistic. You see, I'm not a scammer. I can even lead the Empire to godhood … "
"Yes, so I think maybe you're a monarch who can reshape the entire Empire. Although I'll need a lot of time to get used to this monarch," Alleria floated in the air and bowed slightly to me. "Also, although I don't mind being called a kite, I hope you won't bring up this topic in front of Lord Alaya. It makes me feel awkward."
I said, "… Uh, okay."
The deduction and merging of all the data took an entire day, but the final piecing of the two worlds together and the restructuring of the worldview only took a moment. It was now the evening of the second day after the world fusion began, 6: 15 pm. Following the observation and confirmation by the Garden of the Departed System, the world of "Xinxiang" had been successfully combined with the shadow space. Just like the world of Avalon, it had become one of the several independent "districts" in the capital of the Empire. After all the Xi Ling mainframes that participated in the calculation had completed the data comparison, it was determined that the data deviation of this "piecing" was within 0.35%. I did not know how this value was determined, but according to the experts, a data deviation of 0.35% was the most ideal situation.
This huge project was finally completed. We had done so much preparation work in advance, and finally, we got our due rewards. Everything went as smoothly as planned.
The City of Shadows had already begun to disband the Host Computers. The hybrid Shiring Apostles who participated in the "unlocking" process of the two worlds were also removed from the deep database. The hard work of the latter was actually no less than that of the Schilling Host Computers. Because it was impossible for us to pull out all the hybrid Shiring Apostles in the Empire to do a deep database extraction. This process actually used the "sampling method", which was to take a portion of the hybrid Shiring Apostles as the data source. Presumably, all of you still remember the special way the Shiring Apostles preserved their civilization. That was to break down all the knowledge of the entire Empire into data packages. After each new apostle was born, a certain amount of relevant information would be stored in their own deep database according to their profession and ability. Our sampling method was based on this data storage method. The hybrid apostles who were selected for deep database extraction could form a complete memory bank. When put together, they would be the complete key to unlocking the Concept Fragmentation. This was all arranged in advance by the Emperor of the Fifteenth Heaven under the guidance of the Prophet. She also prepared a large number of Shiring Apostles in both worlds as backups (the backups in Xinxiang had all been confirmed to have been lost in the world-destroying impact) to prevent the "key fragments" from accidentally dying and leading to the failure of the plan. Of course, fortunately, we did not use those backups.
It was not hard to imagine the scale of data import and export operations that the imperial officers, who were responsible for the data source, had to carry out in a short span of twenty-four hours. They were not the Xi Ling mainframe, and such operations were far beyond the work intensity of their memory cores. It was said that after this mission, almost two-thirds of the hybrid Shiring Apostles who participated in the mission had applied to return to the factory for an overhaul. They all felt that there must be something wrong with their brains. Kaios even suspected that he had gone mad. Because after he went offline, he found out that he had unknowingly downloaded at least two hundred Korean dramas, and he had even watched them all …
"When I searched my memory bank, I found out that I had watched two earthlings in various poses and expressions being killed by cars or cancer more than two hundred times. What a torture." — Kaios.
Alright, this is a digression. The main point is that we can finally go home. Err, no, it should be said that we are finally home. Because the entire world of "Xinxiang" has been dragged to the capital of the Empire by us. The place that we are standing at now … can be considered as the outskirts of the shadow city! That is to say, if we push the door from here, we can directly enter the living room of our own home. While I was waiting for the Bubble to appear in the Schilling Nest of the Forgotten Garden, I was suddenly stunned by this fact. All the previous methods of returning home are so weak!
"Deactivating pure logic mode, reactivating default state — Daddy of the child, I miss you so much!"
My daydreaming was suddenly interrupted by the voice of the Bubble in the crystal hall. This brat's voice changed from non-organic to organic without the slightest pause. I couldn't help but be stunned. Then, I saw a white shadow flashing past my eyes. The Bubble had already pounced towards me in a parabola and accurately hung on my neck. "Come, daddy of the child, give me a passionate kiss of love …"
"I … Damn, you are completely cooked!" Just as I was about to calm this crazy person down, I suddenly felt the shocking heat from the humanoid object hanging on my neck. Thus, I took the Bubble off and held it in front of my eyes. Looking at the white smoke rising from the other party's body, I felt as though I was holding a nuclear reactor core that was about to explode. "Damn, are you overloading?"
"How could that be? Small computers dissipate heat slowly. It is normal. I just need to walk around for a while." The Bubble didn't seem to mind at all as she jumped down from my hand. Her body was emitting white smoke as she walked around the room, bringing along waves of heat. Looking at this scene, the brat Xiaoxue hurriedly took out two fried eggs from her bosom. Before the Bubble could react, she knocked them on the latter's face while they were still hot. After two "Chi chi" sounds, she held the two half-cooked fried eggs and shared them with Lin Xue. The little crow, who saw this cruel scene from the side, instantly burst into tears. She had always seen people eating eggs as though it was a horror movie.
The Bubble's reaction was slow by half a beat. Looking at Xiaoxue waddling away, her face revealed an angry expression. Then, she touched her own face and said, "The temperature is indeed a little bit high. I should have released some redundant data just now. Daddy of the child, what are you looking at me for?"
I said, "… You can't be spoiled, right?"
The Bubble tilted her head and looked at me as though she didn't understand what I was talking about. I noticed that she was thinking very slowly and her words were always incoherent. I immediately became nervous. However, before I could speak, the brat suddenly closed her eyes. A messy dripping sound came from an unknown part of her body. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes again and exhaled white smoke from her mouth, "Phew … Done."
"What happened to you? Are you okay? " I asked with concern. I walked forward and touched the other's forehead, "You seem to have a fever, at least a few hundred degrees … Oh, this isn't a fever …"
The Bubble rubbed her head against my hand, "I'm fine. I just restarted. The process got stuck just now."
I was speechless. "…" Is this even possible?! I finally had a deeper understanding of the strange creatures around me.
The abnormal situation that the Bubble was in earlier seemed to be a false alarm. Perhaps it was the aftereffect of the high-intensity calculations she had performed for the past twenty-four hours. However, to the Schilling Host, a temporary error on the system was a small problem. Their self-recovery ability was quite high. Not long after, Little Bubble also jumped out of her crystal prism and ran around the adults happily. I noticed one thing: Even though we had been operating together for twenty-four hours, Little Bubble's body didn't show any signs of overloading. Although she was still warm, it seemed that she had only been operating at full power for a short while. The little brat was even more active than usual. I immediately understood what was going on with Bubble. She was most likely bearing a higher load on her own. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, as expected of the pitiful parents. Even though the Bubble usually looked like a pervert, she still cared for her daughter like a mother. However, the Bubble was too embarrassed to admit it. After Lin Xue blurted out the truth, she still tried to explain, "It can't be helped. That child is too young. What does she know? If there was a system error, she probably wouldn't be able to react in time. So, I personally carried out the high-risk operations …"
The more Bubble explained, the more obvious it became. It was obvious that when the topic of her precious daughter was brought up, the poisonous Bubble immediately revealed her flaws. This brought great joy to everyone who had just gotten out of their tense state …
The portals connecting the mother continent to the various Lost Worlds had been reactivated. Now, the explorers on the mother continent could continue their work. The society on the mother continent that had lasted for thousands of years had survived the World Upheaval without any danger. Of course, they also had to adapt to the new order of life. Everyone could use magical energy, and at least two-thirds of the people could now be called 'mages'. At the same time, the ruins of the Empire that were guarded by ancient guards had completely disappeared in the Lost Worlds, leaving only broken pieces of land with foundations. Many scholars who specialized in studying these ancient ruins had to change their professions. In the end, they had to accept the upheaval of the religious world. The various churches and schools that used to be independent and even contradictory had to accept a new religious concept: all 'gods' actually belonged to the same faction, and were even very familiar with each other. The doctrines they had been following for thousands of years were torn to shreds by their own gods. Because their doctrines were basically made up by their own imagination, the relationships and titles of the gods that they had fabricated left the newly awakened occultists at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Some were even miserably feminized, and of course, some were miserably masculinized. Faced with such 'brainless fans' who made up their own stories, the Imperial officer involved could only personally explain the matter (oh, not really personally, since he was an ancient soul that he had turned into). I heard that there were originally two mutually exclusive churches in the western region of the continent. One worshipped the Goddess of the Forest, and the other worshipped the Spirit of the River. Both of them believed that their own god was the ruler of their region, and they disliked each other. (Of course, it wasn't to the extent of starting a war. In this world, people wouldn't casually start a war because of religious differences — there were too many religions.) But just a few days ago, the gods that they worshipped suddenly appeared. Then, the two of them made love in front of all their believers. The two of them were sisters, and they came from the same production line.
Originally, I didn't pay much attention to these things. I only knew that after the three hundred mystics woke up, they did make a joint statement and something like that, so that their 'believers' would listen to the orders of the Empire. As for the specific situation, it was only after Sangina and Sona came over and told us that we were about to leave. The two half-dragon girls and vanilla came together to bid farewell to us. They still hadn't formed any concept of the two worlds merging. At first, they thought that we were going to a faraway place. So, I explained to them the current relationship between the two worlds. Although they didn't understand, they were still quite happy. At least, they could easily meet each other often. This was something that they understood.
The Sect of the Dragon God and the Sect of the Crow God had already spread far and wide. Almost overnight, they became the highest recognized orthodoxy on the continent. Actually, this was normal: Almost all the religions in the world believed in the Ancients, and almost all the Ancients were officers of the Imperial Army. With more than two hundred gods personally standing up to prove the authority of the Crow God and the Dragon God, would anyone still question them?
However, only one of the two sects was open to all mortals, and that was the Sect of the Crow God. It allowed any mortals who met the requirements to be baptized. On the other hand, the Sect of the Dragon God was more mysterious. The Dragon God only allowed mortals with dragon blood to be baptized. To put it bluntly, the believers of this sect on the mother continent were only half-dragons. So, it was foreseeable that this sect would become the national religion of the Dracon Empire in the future.
Sangina told us all about the recent events on the mother continent. In the end, she mentioned one thing, "Now, there are religious scholars who have come up with a new term, 'Truth Day.' They believe that the recent events on the mother continent are of historical significance. It is the day when the gods personally appear and reveal many truths to their believers. From this day onwards, the doctrines and truths will no longer be fabricated by mortals. Instead, they will come directly from the mouth of the true God. So, it is called 'Truth Day.' However, the specific date of this day has not been set yet because no one can tell when the 'Second Coming of the Divine Kingdom' will be settled."
"You guys decide," I said casually, causing Sangina to be confused, "Huh?"
"Young lady, you have to get used to your new identity." Liliana patted Sangina's stomach and glanced at Vanilla at the same time, "Vanilla, you too. Don't forget that the believers of the Dragon God and the Crow God are the orthodox religion of the world. The Dragon God's followers are small, so we can put this aside. The Crow God Sect wants to be the leader of the religious world. I have heard of this' Truth Day 'once. I think the specific date and commemoration ceremony should be set by you guys. This is the best opportunity to consolidate your position as the orthodox religion. " After saying that, she looked up at the sky like an elder and said slowly as though she was giving her last words, "Vanilla, the one I'm most worried about is you. Now, the great Pope TINK? Liliana? He's about to leave this world. You're the successor left in the mortal world. The Empire wants to set up a religious affairs department on the mother continent. Vanilla, you'll be the highest person in charge of the religious affairs department … "
Vanilla looked very nervous. He tapped his fingers and lowered his head, "But … but I still have a lot of things to learn. I can't even recognize all the words …"
"It's okay. No matter what happens, you just have to say 'this is God's will'. It will work every time. Even if you spit on the king's face when you're eating with him, you have to say that it was God's order for you to spit on his face. After you master the usage of this sentence, you'll be invincible."
Vanilla nodded dumbly, "… Oh."
Sangina and Sona looked at Lin. They also wanted some suggestions, so Lin nodded affirmatively, "Let's do that."
Me: "…"
Everyone: "…"
Sangina, Sona, and Vanilla, these three rookies who had become religious leaders in a blur, still had many things to do. So, after learning how to use the teleportation device to jump between worlds and saying that they would visit the City of Shadows soon, they returned to the mother continent. Alleria led the three hundred mystical commanders in the Celestial Realm to continue the repair and inspection work. They would go to the City of Shadows in a few days to meet up with their former colleagues. As for us, we packed up and hurriedly teleported back home.
The familiar living room, the familiar furniture, the familiar long sofa for Sandora and Shallow Shallow to roll around on, and the little ghost maid who excitedly came through the wall to welcome us. As soon as we entered the house, we saw everything familiar. The group of children and some adults immediately cheered and rushed to their respective territories to play. They were happy when they left home, and they were happy when they returned home.
Anveena smiled and watched everything with me. Then, she elegantly lifted her skirt and bowed, "Welcome home, Master. You've worked hard outside."
"Is everything okay at home?" I asked with a smile.
Anveena's face was filled with joy, "Everything is fine, Master. Only Lord Lin Feng and Lord Ding Ling came a week ago to ask about Mistress Lin Xue …"
Lin Xue, who was fighting with Xiaoxue for the TV remote control, had sharp ears. She jumped up from the sofa in an instant, leaving the young lady's lingering exclamation in the air, "My dear mother! I'm going to lose a layer of skin when I get back! "
Then, I felt a gust of wind blow past, and Milady disappeared. But after a few seconds, she returned and shoved a piece of paper at me. Then, she continued to scream and run out the door. I was stunned as I looked at the paper in my hand.
Will: If anything happens to me, please donate my daughter, Chen Xiaoxue, to the International Red Cross to take revenge on society. Will: Lin Xue
Me: "…"
